*Review* 16" Disney Animator Collector Jasmine + Jakks Pacific Rapunzel

This is a Disney Animators Toddler Doll, ordered from The Disney Store. Jasmine is a 16-inch hard rubber doll with painted cartoon eyes and an adorable pouty expression.

She is dressed in a turquoise tunic (with gold braid) over harem pants. (She has painted on turquoise undies.) She has turquoise rubber slippers with molded curved toes. Her hair is long and tied off in the traditional Jasmine style and accented with a turquoise jewelry and ribbon headband.

 Rapunzel is a Jakks Pacific Toddler Princess doll. She stands at 14-inches and has half-painted, half-inset eyes. She is made from a stiffer plastic than the Animators doll and doesn’t move as easily into seated positions, etc. She has a half-opened smile and freckles.

 

  

Rapunzel is dressed in a simple purple dress with a gold glitter sun and lantern pattern on the skirt and glitter (fake) lacing on the bodice. She came with purple rubber Mary Jane shoes (not pictured). She also has painted-on undies, but they are textured with a princess crown pattern. Her long blonde hair is left loose. Texture of their hair is similar. 

While the Rapunzel doll is sweet, her clothes are too small for 18-inches, but she can exchange clothes and shoes with others 14-inch dolls (Wellie Wishers or Glitter Girls). Meanwhile, Jasmine is able to wear most 18-inch clothes and some dolls are able to wear her things. Her body is still slimmer than an AG or My Life doll, however. 

Value-wise, Jasmine is a beautiful collector’s doll, while Rapunzel is meant as more of a play doll. A great choice for a little girl! Given their price points, both dolls would be a nice addition to your collection.
